And this is why I love regency

so I have most of a dress now. I need to cut out and sew in sleeves tomorrow and hem it. And then It's wearable. I figure I might even add some trim about the hem. That said...I'm still not sure I like this thing. So here's the plan.  I finish it tomorrow, try it all on and take one picture of my new dress over my stays and one of my plaid dress over stays and then I put up a poll. Dress with the most votes wins. 

In other news today I got my 200th follower on Pinterest! I know that's nothing for you major people in the costuming world but for little me who's not known for anything it kinda makes me feel all pleased.
